What rhino_bend does on Rhino
AI agents use rhino_bend to create or update resources in Rhino, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Rhino environment.
Why rhino_bend is rated Medium
This tool modifies existing geometry by bending objects, which is a reversible transformation of data within Rhino. It creates/modifies geometry but does not delete data, execute code, or involve financial operations. Misuse could corrupt geometry but is generally recoverable.

The rule that runs rhino_bend safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Rhino, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For rhino_bend, this is the rule to start with:
rhino_bend stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Rhino, apply this rule, and every rhino_bend call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about rhino_bend
Bend objects along an axis through a specified point. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Rhino MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Rhino MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for rhino_bend: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Rhino. Nothing to install.
rhino_bend is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the rhino_bend rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for rhino_bend. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
rhino_bend is provided by the Rhino MCP server (easehee/rhino-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
